romney? >> in the closing darks they say it would be a big mistake to look at the size of a crowd that comes out to a rally to judge enthusiasm. it's in the numbers. we heard from the secretary of state yesterday that there have been 1.6 million people who have already voted here. and i think it's really interested to point out that they are trying to get that enthusiasm going on the ground because 125 visits have been made to ohio in the last ten months by the candidates, their running mates or their spouses. one more point, there have been a lot of reports that ann romney was looking tired. she has ms. and the campaign just in the last few minutes is confirming that. they are going to scale back the number of her appearances in the closing hours of this campaign but she will hit two stops today. >> she's certainly proving to be a wonderful support to her husband. we wish her well and hope she stays healthy. thank you so much, chris. appreciate that. joining me off the campaign trail in flor
